How to: Embed a EPUB book on your website

Why embed an EPUB on your website?

Before we dive into the how-to, it's essential to understand why you'd want to embed an EPUB on your site:

• Interactive experience: EPUB files support multimedia elements, making the reading experience richer.
• Cross-device compatibility: EPUB files adjust automatically to the screen size of the reader's device, ensuring a comfortable reading experience on any device.
• Engagement: By embedding books directly on your site, you can keep visitors engaged for more extended periods.

Steps to embed an EPUB book using ePubber:

• 1. Log in to ePubber
  Navigate to the login page and sign in to your account. If you don't have one, you can easily sign up for free.
• 2. Create new book or upload your EPUB file
  First create a workspace by clicking on the 'Create workspace' button on your dashboard. Now you create a new book by clicking on the 'Create book' button. Here you can start from scratch or import a existing EPUB.
• 3. Edit your book
  After creating or uploading your EPUB file, ePubber provides a sophisticated editor that allows you to write, tweak and refine your EPUB.
• 4. Generate the embed Code
  Go back to the ePubber dashboard and view the book you want to embed. Scroll down and you find 'Share book'. Click on the edit button. In the share book modal you must switch on 'Public access'. Here you can customize the reader. This ensures that the embedded reader matches your website's aesthetics.
• 5. Embed the code on your website
  Copy the generated iframe code. Navigate to the desired page on your website where you want the EPUB to be displayed. If you're using a content management system (CMS) like WordPress, go to the text editor/view (not the visual one) and paste the code where you want the book to appear. For HTML-based sites, insert the iframe code in the desired location within your site's source code.
• 6. Review and test
  Once embedded, preview the page to ensure the EPUB viewer displays correctly and is functional. Test the viewer's features like turning pages, accessing table of contents, and using any other functionalities you enabled.

Done!

Embedding an EPUB book on your website has never been easier, thanks to tools like ePubber. By providing an interactive and immersive reading experience directly on your site, you can captivate your audience and keep them engaged for longer. Happy embedding!
